MOSCOW- Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin assured Friday not to do the "large split" between the past and future

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin assured Friday not to do the "large split" between the past and future, while U.S. President Barack Obama, according to him, has one foot in the past.

“We do not make the big splits, we are firmly standing on two legs and always look to the future,” said Putin, quoted by Russian agencies, while Barack Obama is expected in Moscow Monday for a three-day visit.

Russian Prime Minister responded to what the U.S. president said in an interview with the AP. “I think Putin has a foot in the old way of conducting business, and one foot in the new”, had found Mr. Obama.
